...BAND OF MODERATE TO HEAVY SNOW EXPECTED TONIGHT... .A band of snow develops across northeast Iowa into southwest Wisconsin this evening and lasts through the overnight, departing between sunrise and mid-morning. The snow will be heavy at times with rates exceeding 1" per hour, quickly leading to snow-covered and slippery roads. The heaviest snow is forecast to fall in a relatively narrow band with amounts quickly decreasing on either side of the band. Any small changes to the placement of the snow band could change forecast snow amounts at a given location very quickly. Confidence in heavy amounts is highest in far southwest Wisconsin into Juneau and Adams Counties and adjacent areas of northeast Iowa. Areas to the northwest from Charles City to Tomah may see a few inches of accumulation, but amounts will drop off quickly in some cases within a few miles.

* WHAT...Heavy snow. Additional snow accumulations between 5 and 7 inches. Winds gusting as high as 40 mph.

* WHERE...Portions of north central and northeast Iowa, southeast Minnesota, and southwest and west central Wisconsin.

* WHEN...Until 9 AM CST Friday.

* IMPACTS...Plan on slippery road conditions. The hazardous conditions could impact the Friday morning commute.
